DESCRIPTION:Second Thursday at NextFab: Winter Residency exhibition Going Up by Lin Elkins | Thurs. May 14\, 2026 | 6:00 – 8:00 pm ET | In-person | NextFab 1800 N. American\nWalk-ups Welcome \nLin Elkins as the Fellow for their sixth annual Winter Residency Program. Launched in 2021\, the program is designed for artists based in the Greater Philadelphia region who work in the medium of wood and are pursuing research-based inquiries into sustainable creative practice. The two-month Residency culminates in an exhibition that is currently on view at NextFab. Going Up by Lin Elkins explores the various ways humans try to make sense of an unpredictable world. Games\, simple machines\, and small acts of participation become tools for thinking about fate\, progress\, and the desire to control what surrounds us. \nGoing Up is on view now through May 21\, 2026

The initiative aims to address a lack of research in the field while increasing visibility and community for marginalized queer artists working with the material of wood. This workshop is the first of many auxiliary programs leading up to the Queering Wood Craft\, a landmark exhibition\, highlighting LGBTQIA+ woodworking artists. The culmination of this project will be a 3-month exhibition—the first and largest of its kind—opening in May 2027. \nQuestions?
